It's an even smaller chance than that. Following WHO instructions health ministries and departments labelled all those who had died with the disease (testing positive for it) but who did not die from the disease (a heart attack, a stroke, falling off a ladder) as being a "covid death". These "covid deaths" are to be corrected at a later date by a coroners report.... which of course keeps mounting as people continue to die, and in fact are dying more, from an inability to seek the resources they need to treat other illnesses like cancer.

A perfect example of this can be seen when you look on the wiki for Covid in Norway (ideal for it's small size). They have reported 279 deaths from covid but only 36 people were ever hospitalised from it, only 6 put into critical care, and only 2 put on ventilators. Go check for yourself. These 36, 6, and 2 cases, respectively, were not just the numbers of people who went through these stages and then recovered, these are all the people, recovered or not, who went through either hospitalization or critical care. So how on earth did they get 279 deaths? Because they listed dying with covid as the same thing as dying of covid.

Not sure that's nefarious so much as cause of death can be more than just simple black & white. As an example, my grandmother when she passed had a number of things wrong with her that led to her end. To say she died from complications resulting from Parkinson's, bone cancer, or a fall are all true. I suspect the exact cause of death was palliative care. Or you could say she died of old age because she had these ailments because she was old.

If she had happened to have had covid when she died she would have been a covid death. It's just not a perfect system, not everything is a square peg fitting in a square hole.

You got the numbers wrong. Up to date info (12.11.2020): 291 deaths, 1407 hospitalisations, 278 in intensive care so far.

I was just going off the wiki numbers, thanks for the update.
